There has lately been some question
as to who is the senior newspaper man,
editor or printer in Michigan, and it
seems to be at last conceded that the
honor rests with Mr.. Don c. Henderson
of 1.-The Allegan Journal and Tribune
who began his labors January rs, 1913,
on the old "Allegan Record" He has
since that time been connected with
various newspapers in New York and
Jersey City. In 1856 he founded his
present paper, and with the exception
of a short time in 1919 has been at the
head of it ever since.
